The flexibility of the MIL-53(M) metal-organic framework (MOF) has been elucidated through various characterization methodologies, particularly in gas and liquid adsorption processes. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no prior electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) characterization of liquid-phase adsorption in the MOF MIL-53(M), which offers insights into local geometric changes at the oxygen octahedron containing the metal ions of the framework. In this study, we investigate, for the first time, the pore transformations within the MIL-53(Al
